Hi all,

I just experienced $subject under these circumstances:
- Nevada b79
- IBM/lenovo thinkpad T60p
- interface: e1000g0 (works)
- profile: DHCP 
- apparently, DHCP server and/or NIS server are a bit loaded ...

I'd been rebooting the laptop a few times, and normally used the DHCP-NoNIS 
profile, which I had in the inetmenu-startup file. 
Since I'm in a NIS environment today (ie on SWAN), I wanted to test the DHCP 
profile, so I changed the startup file and rebooted. I'd seen timeouts trying 
to get a DHCP address before reported by inetmenu.
Upon reboot, Inetmenu reported "nis domain ..." twice, and then just hung - I 
waited several minutes. I then forcefully rebooted the machine, booted into 
failsafe mode and reverted to DHCP-NoNIS, which worked fine.

is this a known issue?

Michael
